htps://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2010-September/msg00034.html To all developers reading this I have discovered the route of the problem but could probably do with some sort of workaround for others; Basically as you know, when the system attaches itself to the server it collects a load of hardware information, this calls upon dmidecode which scans /dev/mem. The error although seemingly random seemed to happen on boxes that had a loud of dodgy information in /dev/mem. I could get the servers connecting to spacewalk by deleting the /dev/mem device (or renaming it for the rhnreg_ks command and then rename it back). I think there should be a workaround for this since this information was nowhere on the internet. Should I raise a bug report since this was happening to me 1 in 4 servers. Cheers, Chris Please report version of dmidecode and python-dmidecode. Package versions: python-dmidecode-3.10.8-4.el5 dmidecode-2.10-3.el5 BUT.. I found out this bug has been already fixed in bug 596133 in python-dmidecode-3.10.13-1.el5_5.1 and related errata RHBA-2010:9824-04 has been verified. Now it is waiting for release. I am closing this bug as duplicate of bug 583867. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 583867 *** |
